NVIDIA's new graphics card prepayment has exceeded the same period in previous years, NVIDIA's purpose of this move is to ensure TSMC's supply of wafers, in the production of a certain priority, so the RTX 40 series graphics card in terms of product supply may be better than the RTX 30 series.
It is reported that the parameters of the previous RTX 40 series graphics card have also been exposed, which will use the Navi 31 core, and the stream processor can reach up to 18432, with GDDR6X video memory, and has a 384-bit width, and has a core frequency of 2.2 GHz, which can provide 81 TFLOP computing performance. Overall performance is much higher than the RTX 30 series graphics card.
